Simply an illusion of desire. It’s not real especially if you don’t want it to be real. If you don’t want it to be real then you’re fine. Cuz cmon it’s just too out there to be true. When have you ever heard of a true desire that you desperately don’t want? Isn’t that a paradox or something? I don’t think this is some guilty pleasure. I can already tell you’re probably really heartbroken over this. Hope this helps, God bless!

@GodsTreasure Really good response — the paradox comment made me laugh, because it's true. The illogical nature of OCD is really clear in how you wrote this, so as a bypasser, thank you. 🤍 Will be referring back to this comment when my OCD is flaring up!

Yes this exactly happened to me and I went into a whole spiral about this too . I completely understand this situation and I thought I only experienced this , I also work in the childcare sector so this has been particularly difficult and I have noticed POCD attacks all your morals and values . I’m trying to let the thoughts be there but mixed with other types of OCD I had in the past it’s definitely one of the ones which attack everything you stand for

@lavender1010 i relate to your comment a lot. my ocd makes me spiral bc i rly do care about the kids i work with a lot. and then my ocd brain somehow snowballs that into smthn else and i feel so horrible. when my ocd therapist first told me that ocd attacks your morals it all clicked for me, and im trying to remind myself of that now. hope u feel better soon.

@recoveringenby I appreciate your response too and I feel the same I also really care about them too 🥺l I have noticed that lately the thoughts have become less loud and I have been experiencing numbness to the thoughts which cause at first more anxiety but now I’m letting them be there and stopping the compulsions of reviewing or needing to find the answer . I think it’s been helping a lot . I hope you get through this too ❤️

@lavender1010 How are you doing today? I’m struggling with this so bad . The mental images and the gestures are becoming an every day thing

@jjay4 Hiiii !! To be honest I have been struggling because I have memories and situations that I was in that have convinced me I’ve done something wrong and it feels very convincing . Considering all of my jobs were working with kids it was so difficult and I’m trying every day to move forward but I beleive this is definitely OCD but having faith in yourself and sitting in the uncertainty is what helps .
